From the SF Chronicle: A tip for lovelorn crooks: don’t give out your digits to the pretty employee at your favorite restaurant if you plan to burglarize the joint later.
A suspect in a break-in at a San Mateo restaurant, who thought he was headed for a hot date, learned that lesson the hard way when his love interest helped bring him down instead of spicing things up.
It all started about 1:30 a.m. Saturday when employees at Curry Up Now, an Indian restaurant at 129 South B St., interrupted a burglary in progress, catching a man stacking property by the rear door.
The man fled, but not before one of the workers, a 22-year-old woman, recognized the suspect as someone “who had flirted with her during business hours,” police said.
And it turned out, the man had provided the woman with his name and phone number, police said.

So officers decided to impersonate the young woman by setting up a “date” with her admirer, 31-year-old Keveen Quintanilla of Burlingame, through a series of text messages.
They lured him to a location near Burlingame Avenue and California Drive about 10:30 p.m. Saturday, where Quintanilla was promptly arrested by plainclothes officers. http://blog.sfgate.com/crime/2014/03/25/bungling-burglar-leaves-phone-number-with-victim-then-falls-for-date-night-sting/
They say men think with their p***s and this case, it seems certainly true.
